 The tables below name the file for each agent. Cursor has no instruction file in the home folder, so its rule in the repository carries the same section. In an existing file, the section is appended and your own text stays as it is. `--uninstall` removes exactly that section, and nothing around it.
 
+## The team section in the repository
+
+Inside a repository, `init` in user scope also asks: "Add a review section to this repo's CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, so teammates' agents review before they push too?" The default is yes, and `--yes` answers yes. `--no-repo` answers no. The answer is recorded for that repository and asked no more; `--yes` or `--no-repo` on a later `init` replaces it.
+
+The section goes into `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` at the root of the repository, and `init` creates a file that is not there. It is meant for a teammate who has installed nothing, so it names only the pinned `npx` command:
+
+```
+<!-- openqodex:start -->
+## Review with OpenQodex before you push
+- Before any `git push`, run `npx -y openqodex@<version> review --agent` from the repository root and follow the brief it prints to the end, including the finalize command it names.
+- Run that review in a separate subagent when your agent has one: the agent that wrote the code does not judge its own work.
+- Do not push on a blocked verdict unless the developer says so after seeing the findings.
+- The report is in `.openqodex/reviews/`.
+<!-- openqodex:end -->
+```
+
+The two files show in `git status`, and `init` says to commit them. `init` writes neither file through a symbolic link. A section you edited is yours: a later `init` and `--uninstall` leave it as it is. `--uninstall` removes our untouched section, and deletes a file only when `init` created it and nothing else is in it. In project scope the same two files carry the instruction section instead, never both.
+
 ## The review runs in a separate subagent
 
 The skill hands the review to a subagent whose only task is the review, so the agent that wrote the code does not judge its own work. In Claude Code, that is a subagent started with the Agent tool. In Codex, Cursor and other hosts, the skill uses their sub-task or background agent feature when there is one. Where the host has none, the agent tells you the review is not independent, and the report's summary says so on its first line.

 ## The launcher
 
-In user scope, the push gate hooks call a launcher, not npx. `init` copies the package to `~/.openqodex/runtime/<version>/` and checks the copy runs. It then writes `~/.openqodex/bin/openqodex`, a small script that runs that copy with your Node. The hooks call that script by its full path, so they do not depend on npx or your `PATH`.
+In user scope, the push gate hooks, the skill and the Cursor and Cline rules call a launcher, not npx. Every user-scope install gets it, with or without a hook. `init` copies the package to `~/.openqodex/runtime/<version>/` and checks the copy runs. It writes the version to the first line of `~/.openqodex/runtime/current`, then writes `~/.openqodex/bin/openqodex`, a small script that runs the copy that line names with your Node. When the line is missing, is not a version, or names a copy that is gone, the script runs the version `init` installed. The hooks and the skill's commands call that script by its full path, so they do not depend on npx or your `PATH`. A copy is never changed once written: when a folder of the same version with other contents is in the way, `init` stops and names it.
+
+The user-scope skill is a short stub: when to run, who reviews (a separate subagent where the host has one), and one command, `<launcher> guide skill`, which prints the full procedure of the version the launcher runs, with every command written for the launcher. No file `init` writes in user scope names a version or holds the procedure, so an update changes none of them. In user scope the Cursor and Cline rules call the launcher too, and say to run `<launcher> guide skill` when the skill is not loaded.

 The hook is one `PreToolUse` entry. It matches the `Bash` tool and runs only for `git push` commands. It calls `openqodex hook check`.
 
+In user scope, `init` adds rules so Claude Code runs these review commands without asking, and the agent can review unattended: `<launcher> review --agent`, `review --finalize`, `review --agent --all` and `review --finalize --all`, each also with ` --offline` at the end, plus `guide`, `guide skill` and `guide <topic>`. Each rule matches one exact line, so the same command with any other flag, such as `--output` or `--config`, or chained with `&&`, still asks you. `scan`, `doctor`, `trust`, `update`, `init` and `report` still ask you. The brief's finalize command is one of these lines too, unless the review was run with `--config`. Project scope writes no permission rule: a committed settings file would decide for every teammate. A rule you already had is left alone, and `init --uninstall` removes only the rules `init` added. When a later version grants a different set, the next `init` removes the rules an earlier version added and adds the new ones. When your home path holds a space or another character the shell would read, the launcher is written in single quotes in the skill and in the rules alike. When the launcher's path holds `*`, which Claude Code reads as a wildcard, `init` writes no rule and says so in one line; Claude Code then asks before each review command.
+
+A skill, rule or permission rule an earlier `init` wrote, such as the full-text skill of 0.2.1, is replaced by the next `init` only while it is still exactly as written. One you edited is left as it is, and `init` says so.
+
+Neither the skill `init` writes nor `guide skill` carries the sentence that tells an agent to prefer `~/.openqodex/bin/openqodex`: in user scope the launcher already runs every command, and in project scope the skill keeps the version the team committed.

+- `--off`, `--on`: write `update: off` or `update: on` to `~/.openqodex/config.yaml`. `init --uninstall` removes that file when `update` created it and it is unchanged, and removes the update state.
+- `--status`: print the same update lines as `doctor`.
 
-In a terminal, press 1 or 2. Any other key, Enter, Ctrl-C or the end of input counts as 2. Without a terminal (an agent, a git hook, CI), OpenQodex prints the issue and how to create it later with `openqodex report --send-last`; doing nothing ignores it.
+Each release is checked before anything of it runs: its sha512 must match the registry's, and its npm provenance must be signed by this repository's release workflow on `main` (see `security`). A release that fails is skipped, recorded, and not downloaded again for 7 days. An update writes no agent file and never writes inside a repository: the user-scope skill asks the launcher for the procedure with `guide skill`, so it always matches the active version. A foreground `update`, `--rollback`, `--off` and `--on` wait up to 60 seconds while another `init`, uninstall or update runs, then exit 2 with one line. `update` also removes runtime copies older than 7 days, except the one `init` installed, the current one and the previous one.
 
-Choice 1 creates the issue with the GitHub CLI when `gh auth status` says you are signed in. Otherwise it opens the new issue page on GitHub with the title and body filled in, and prints the link. OpenQodex never signs you in. Choice 2 sends nothing. Nothing leaves your machine without choice 1. The last issue shown is kept in `.openqodex/last-report.json`, which git ignores.
+After an update the next command prints one line on stderr: `openqodex updated to X (was Y). Roll back: openqodex update --rollback`. The agent push hook does not print it.

+- `report "<what went wrong>"`: report a problem with OpenQodex. It prints the issue it would create and the two choices, the same as after a failure. It exits 0. Words that hold a path, a file name, a key or token, or an email address are refused with exit 2: remove them and run it again. Your user name and the repository's name are replaced with `<name>`.
+- `report --send-last`: print the last issue shown in this repository again, then create it exactly as it was shown. Outside a repository it uses the last one shown outside a repository. It refuses a saved issue that is a link, is not in the saved shape, or changed after it was shown.
+
+The issue holds only the command and its flags, a short diagnostic, the status of each scanner, the operating system, the CPU type and the Node version. For a scanner the diagnostic is its failure class only, such as `exited with code 2` or `timed out after 60 s`, never its output. For an internal error it is the error's class and first line, cut to 120 characters. Every path, file name, key or token, email address, user name and repository name is removed first, and a custom scanner is shown as `custom scanner`. It never holds code, diffs, findings, config or logs.
+
+When the issue could not be saved, OpenQodex says so and does not offer `--send-last`.
+
+In a terminal, press 1 or 2. Any other key, Enter, Ctrl-C or the end of input counts as 2. Without a terminal (an agent, a git hook, CI), OpenQodex prints the issue and how to create it later with `openqodex report --send-last`; doing nothing ignores it.
+
+Choice 1 creates the issue with the GitHub CLI when `gh auth status` says you are signed in. Otherwise it opens the new issue page on GitHub with the title and body filled in, and prints the link. OpenQodex never signs you in. Choice 2 sends nothing. Nothing leaves your machine without choice 1. The last issue shown is kept in `.openqodex/last-report.json`, which git ignores.

+`--offline` skips osv-scanner and semgrep, which the report lists as disabled. It also turns scanner downloads off and the version check.
+
+## Updates
+
+An install made with `npx openqodex init` runs through the launcher `~/.openqodex/bin/openqodex`. After a `review`, `scan`, `hook check` or `hook pre-push` that the launcher started, at most once every 24 hours, OpenQodex starts a background process and the command exits without waiting for it.
+
+What it sends: GET requests to `registry.npmjs.org` only, over https, with no body and no header but the user agent `openqodex/<version>`. First the openqodex package's release list. Then, for a newer release, its tarball and its attestations. Nothing about you, your code or your repository is sent. Every redirect must stay on `registry.npmjs.org`.
+
+What it installs: a release that is newer than the running one, in the same major version, at least 24 hours old, not deprecated, not a prerelease, and fit for your Node. Before any of its code runs:
+
+- the tarball's sha512 must equal the registry's `dist.integrity`;
+- its SLSA provenance must verify in full with Sigstore: the certificate chain to the Fulcio roots, the certificate transparency entry, the transparency log entry and the signature;
+- the signing certificate must be issued to `https://github.com/openqodex/openqodex/.github/workflows/release.yml@refs/heads/main` by `https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com`, compared exactly;
+- the signed statement must name `pkg:npm/openqodex@<version>` with the downloaded tarball's sha512.
+
+A stolen npm publish token is therefore not enough to reach your machine: the release must come out of this repository's release workflow on `main`. The 24 hour age is a window to deprecate a bad release before installs take it.
+
+The Sigstore trust data (Fulcio roots, log keys) ships inside each release, so verification makes no other network call. When Sigstore rotates a key that an old release does not know, that release cannot verify newer ones. It stays on its version and says once how to update by hand: `npx openqodex@latest init`.
+
+A verified release is unpacked into a temporary folder under `~/.openqodex/runtime/`. A link in the tarball, or a path that leaves the folder, stops it. No install script runs. The new copy must print its own version. Only then, holding the lock below, the updater checks again that updates are still on, that OpenQodex is still installed and that no other update, rollback or `init` changed the active version meanwhile. It then renames the copy to `~/.openqodex/runtime/<version>/` and switches `~/.openqodex/runtime/current` by a second rename. A version folder is never replaced: when one with other contents is already there, the release is skipped. An update writes no agent file and nothing inside a repository.
+
+The lock: while `init`, `init --uninstall`, `hook install`, `update --rollback`, `update --off`, `update --on` or an update's switch runs, OpenQodex briefly opens a listener on 127.0.0.1, on a port between 20000 and 32000 derived from the path of `~/.openqodex`, so that two of them never run at once; it accepts no data and answers nothing, and the operating system closes it when the process ends, however it ends. When the listener cannot be opened at all, those commands stop with one line saying why, and the daily check skips the switch. The port is predictable, so a local program that holds it stops install, uninstall and updates until it lets go; nothing is installed or changed while it is held. A command that waited 60 seconds for it names the port and the line that shows the holder (`lsof -nP -iTCP:<port> -sTCP:LISTEN`), and the daily check records the same as its last error, which `openqodex update --status` and `doctor` show.
+
+Updates are off with `openqodex update --off`, `update: off` in `~/.openqodex/config.yaml`, `OPENQODEX_AUTO_UPDATE=0`, `--offline` or `OPENQODEX_OFFLINE=1`, and whenever `CI` is set. A run through `npx` or a project-scope file never checks.

 `instructions-section.md` is the marked section (between `<!-- openqodex:start -->` and `<!-- openqodex:end -->`) that tells an agent to review with the openqodex skill, in a separate subagent, when a feature or fix is done. `init` prints it before writing, records it, and `--uninstall` removes exactly that section. It goes into each agent's global instruction file in user scope, into the repo's `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` in project scope, and inside the Cursor and Cline rules.
 
+## The team section
+
+`repo/team-section.md` is the marked section a user-scope `init` writes into the repository's own `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md` (creating a file that is not there), unless `--no-repo`, or a recorded "no" for that repository without `--yes`, says otherwise. It is for a teammate with nothing installed: it names only `npx -y openqodex@{{VERSION}} review --agent` and never the skill or the launcher. Unlike other repository files in user scope, it is not added to `.git/info/exclude`: the developer commits it. It replaces an instruction section found there exactly as written, is recorded with `createdFile`, and `--uninstall` removes exactly it. In project scope the same two files get the instruction section instead.
+
+## The skill in user scope
+
+In user scope the skill is a stub built from `skills/openqodex/SKILL.md`: its frontmatter and title, its "When to run" and "Who reviews" sections, then a procedure that says to run `<launcher> guide skill` and follow what it prints. `guide skill` prints the shipped skill with every `npx -y openqodex@<version>` written as the launcher. Project scope copies the shipped skill with its pinned version. Both drop the paragraph that tells a skill installed by `npx skills add` to prefer the launcher.
